Boomtschak - one of the most powerful entirely analog drum voices in Eurorack. As sound sources it uses an oscillator with waveshaper, a filtered noise or the mix of both. Not less than three flexible envelope generators are included, for pitch bending and the amplifiers. The resonant multi-mode filter can be fed with external audio signals instead the noise generator. The module's frequency range is huge, thus allowing for using it as a synthesizer voice.

This digital module is specialized in one effect only: thick, juicy and fantastic chorus, thanks to automatic routing ieven in true stereo. It offers internal modulation, feedback and has two different chorus modes whose slightly different sound you might already know from the Audio Damage plug-ins Fluid and Dimensions.
The module's DSP works with proper 24Bit and 48kHz and also the mechanical quality is rock-solid.

Dub Junior's Mk2 version also is based in the delay algorithms used in the Audio Damage Plug In Dubstation and the old DubJr module but it has been clearly enhanced and improved regarding as well the features as the mechanical quality. It is a delay module with clock synchronization and tap-tempo, 24Bit/48kHz quality, two modes, two timpbres and external feedback loop. A worthy successor to the best-selling, venerable DubJr.

Although the Proton makes for a pretty nice delay its main focus of attention is a type of physical modeling called Karplus-Strong synthesis. It creates percussive sounds which resemple a plucked nylon strong but Proton is able to twist them in a strong way by filtering and by adding noise impulses.

Besides true stereo wave shaping the digital Shapes module offers the possiblity to scan one of 16 interpolated wavetables using audio and CV inputs. To do this you can induct any input signal, from a sine oscillator to an entire stereo sum, whereupon the grade of erosion or destruction rises with the complexity of the audio material.

Brandon Smith's set of 4 EPROMS with sound banks for the Piston Honda.
You can exchange the pre-installed ROM chips with other ones to get new sounds and wavetables. To install all four Eeproms simultaneously you need a Harvestman ROM expander for the Piston Honda which will give you the possiblitly to have six eeproms installed in your module.

The biggest of the three external power supplies for Erica's Skiff provides 2.5A, which is enough current for two cases. It also has two power connectors - so if you plan to use two Skiffs sooner or later, go for this one to prevent having two supplies in the studio.

You can expect the first synthesizer from Knas to be different and that is what it is: not your typical clean synth. The subrtactive architecture may look very familiar but the 2 VCOs (one is a subharmonic oscillator), the filter and the envelope have a certein twist. The synth has a duophonic ribbon controller, a semi-modular layout, a quantizer, pre-amp, a MIDI/CV interface and even USB.

Inspired by VIznut's "Algorithmic symphonies from one line of code" and the BitWiz Audio Synth, the Equation Composer creates a wide range of gritty, 8-bit sounding melodies, waveforms, and noise. The module is organized into CV selectable "programs", where each program can act like a unique synthesizer.
Digital wavetable VCOs, chord generators, pattern generators, drum voices are included but you can load other programs into the module as well!

The p0 is a world class drum generator, which uses physical modeling to create sound. Specialties of the circuit are metallic instruments like hi-hats or cymbals. However, it is also possible to create bongos, toms and even kicks. Besides that, thanks to a clever parameter selection, the module can generate lots of extraordinary, partly psychedelic sounds. Control voltage inputs allow musicians to compose interesting rhythms with just one p0.

Digital oscillator with a huge frequency range and the possibility to read your own waveforms in .wav format from a SD card in addition to the internal wave forms. Ultra-stable tracking due to it's digital core make it perfect for FM sounds. Phase and symmetry of the waveforms can be voltage controlled.

All modules from Mungo's Zero series offer a Zoom function to operate all potentiometers (parameter controls and attenuators) with coarse, normal or fine resolution. This is especially super useful for oscillator frequencies and delay times. The Zoom module enables this function.

The Braids is a digital macro-oscillator. It´s sound engine outclasses any VCO by far because the sounds are very complex and only two controls are used to affect several timbre parameters simultaneously. Braids is capable of different synthesis forms like FM, wavetable, vocal sound creation, analog emulation, noise, digital synthesis and even physical modeling. And it sounds awesome!

Two channel general purpose module for processing trigger signals. In simple words: inject a trigger or a gate and create envelopes, synchronized LFOs, a tap-tempo LFO or deum sounds. Three modes allow for different use of the controls.
In a not-so-secret mode you can use four alternative functions.

The braided Nazca patchcords combine flexibility with pleasant surface feel, having a nice arc retention due to their thickness.
The pack of eighteen contains each nine cables in 33cm and 60cm, with two colors per length.

The Pittsburgh Modular Analog Delay is an analog delay module designed around a pair of 4096 Bucket Brigade Delay Line (BBD) ICs to produce a distinct analog delay effect. The maximum delay time when shipped is set at 9/10ths of a second.

The Analog Replicator is a new module built from scratch, way better than the old "Analog Delay" module. With up to 8192 bucket-stages and two time ranges delays from 12ms to 2.6s are possible. Everything from short flangings over dense feedback to thrashy long delays is possible. Invertable feedback, voltage control of three parameters, bypass and a neat spillover function put the cherry on top.

The [Cell48] System 1 is Pittsburgh Modular´s perfect entry to analog modular synthesis: a really nice sounding analog synthesizer with MIDI.
In a nice compact box you find a selection of modules: a semimodular synthesizer voice, a mixer/multiples, a duophonic MIDI/CV interface and an audio outputs / headphone amp. the semi-modular structure and internal normalizations make it possible to use the system without a single patch cable - ideal for beginners!

Powerful 8Bit digital oscillator and signal proessor. The module consists of two oscillators (one master, one slave) and a wave shaper. Each VCO has 16 wave forms; you can blend between both VCOs. The mix output carries the mix of the two oscillators which is treated by the processor - both waves can be combined in 1 of 16 ways.

The Filter by Pittsburgh Modular is a multimode filter with state variable topology which gives a smooth natural and warm sound. The filter doesn't have a sweet spot but sounds good over the whole frequency range. A special oscillator mode allows the filter to be used as an oscillator as well.

This sequencer for CVs and gates is inspired by retro computer games and is operated with a joystick with pushbutton function. Six "games", each an own type of seqeuncer from standard step sequencers to chaotic gate and CV generators, are integrated.
The module is entirely voltage controllable (yes, even the joystick movement can be replaced by CVs) and this allows for constant evolution of sequences.

As you can already guess by the name the GenXpander is an expansion module for Pittsburgh´s Generator module. It adds some waveshaping, individual outputs, enhanced internal FM and phase-inversion based timbral effects.

Input and output module for embedding audio signals from the modular system in your studio and vice versa, including adjustable levels, If you combine both sections you can use the module as an insert for effect units.

The Lifeforms 2+2 Mixer is composed of four channels, which can be utilized as two small or one big summing tool. Alternatively, it is possible to employ individual signal paths as attenuators. The module is suitable for processing audio material as well as control voltages.

The Lifeforms ADSR is a four stage envelope generator. Attack, decay and release potentiometers can work in two time ranges. Results are emitted via a normal and an inverted output. At the end of the release phase, the module generates a trigger signal.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde – The Binary Filter has two sides. In stable mode, the state variable circuit shines with gentle, comforting sound. High resonance values don’t lead to self-oscillation. By switching to the unstable mode, it is possible to change the module’s behavior drastically. Suddenly, the filter starts to distort and scream. Without an input signal, the circuit is usable as a sine oscillator in this mode of operation. The module features outputs for high-pass, band-pass and low-pass.

Pittsburgh’s Double Helix Oscillator is composed of two VCOs plus a sub oscillator, a contour section with mixer, wavefolder and low pass gate as well as a LFO and a noise generator. Furthermore, the module features a routing matrix with two voltage controlled VCAs. Its sound is voluminous and clearly analog.

Pittsburgh’s Lifeforms Dual VCA contains two amplifier circuits with linear characteristic. They can be used independently or in conjunction. Thanks to a mix output, it is also possible to employ the module as a summing circuit. The VCAs are suitable for control voltages as well as audio material.

The Dynamic Impulse Filter is a lowpass gate with innovative circuit design. Instead of a vactrol, this module uses a modern analog circuit, which not only retains the sonic characteristics of the role model, but makes them editable. The result: Classic sound and extended tone shaping capabilities. The module can be employed as a normal VCF or VCA as well. Furthermore, it is possible to use the Dynamic Impulse Filter as a generator for drum sounds.

Four-channel trigger sequencer with up to 32 steps length, variable length per channel, memory and unique pattern effects like morph, glitch and swing. Patterns can be programmed in classic drummachine manner or live recording of all four channels simultaneously with the touchpads!
Each channel is able to process one audio signal via a VCA, modulated by an envelope generator. Sounds are processed directly through the module, making the creation of electronic drum sounds a super-easy task.

Compared to many semi-modular budget- and starter-systems the SV-1 Balckbox really shines with its second audio oscillator containing a dual sub-oscillator as well. The MIDI implementation of this unit is pretty good either due to a flexible MIDI/CV converter. Pittsburgh Modular's popular state-variable multi mode filter has been used and a variety of handy tools completes this fine desktop synthesizer.

The System Interface is a mixer with six inputs, effect send, stereo master channel and headphone section. An additional bus allows the user to create a sub group. The first three audio paths come equipped with powerful pre-amplifiers and soft clipping circuits. The module’s routing concept is intuitive and flexible. In terms of sound, the System Interface shines with clean, unadulterated results. Its pre-amps can be used to distort audio material. – A great solution for managing several synthesizer and / or drum voices inside a modular setup.

Pittsburgh Modular's approach to a Lopass Gate doesn't clone old circuits but enhances and improves this idea. The LPG allows for self oscillation, the VCA is clean and has unity gain. A ping input converts any gate or square signals to a very short trigger and uses it to ping the vactrol.
